@grahamwettone@ThetaSi49453085@metpoliceuk If there arn't enough grounds to arrest the ocupier, (after a lot of questions,) they could hardly object to the owner retrieving their property.
@MentalHealthCop And whilst the drivers & mechanics are trying to make the wheels go round, the chief designers have been promoted and are in charge of the whole fleet somewhere else.
"This is Ted he is a 96 year old WW2 veteran. He came into my pub today for his lunch. I couldn't help but notice his medals I just had to go and ask him about his life and say thank you for his service to our country. He became really overwhelmed and cried. He said 'thank you young man no one cares about what I have to say anymore.'
I told him that I'm sure there are so many people that do. Can we all please like and share this post and show him just how many of do care about our veterans and prove to Ted he's not forgotten. I will show him this post when he comes back for his dinner next week."

@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil You still can't make a plausible case for being able to invade Europe without the UK as the staging point. I've given you all the information but I can't understand them for you. I'll leave you with these wise words from your countryman. Good luck to you.
@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil The US strategy in the Pacific tells you everything about what was.possible then. There is no way that any invasion force could be transported and supplied across Atlantic whilst under attack from German bases in Britain & France. The luftwaffe would also have air supremacy.
@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil If Britain falls in 1940 its hard to see them doing anything in the far east. The Japanese have walk into India as well as S E Asia. Without support Chang kai shek falls. Japan looks North. The 40 divs that Zhukov defended Moscow with are stuck in Manchuria. No Pearl Harbour ?
@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil You're showing your ignorance again.
Titian to Hiroshima 3000m round trip. Unapposed.
Nova Scotia to Berlin Is 7000m around and would be hostile skies most of the trip.
And lots of UK & European scientists worked at Los Alamos.
@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil Putin agrees with you on Nato.
As to our respective ignorance. This conversation speaks for itself....Spoiler alert. It doesn't look good for you. Especially on WW2.
Oh and that carrier you suggested would have to be 3 x bigger than all 11 of your current carriers lashed together
@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil I'm grateful to your father and family for the contribution and sacrifice. I have paid my respects at a number of American cemeteries.
You would have a greater understanding of things beyond your porch fence if you looked beyond fox news for your information.
@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil Let's wind it back my friend and keep it civil.
The US & its military did great things in WW2 but the historical reality would have made an invasion of Europe a practical impossibility without the UK as a forward base.
@FloridaManV@andybain2@afneil Careful.....There are 2 US states where its not illegal to have sex with animals. I wonder if you have close family from one of them ?
